A Peruvian naval officer stands at attention while the Peru and U.S. national anthems are played during a reception for Peruvian dignitaries, military officials and distinguished guests in the hangar bay of future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) as part of a scheduled port visit to Callao, Peru. America is currently traveling through the U.S. Southern Command and U.S. 4th Fleet area of responsibility on its maiden transit, "America Visits the Americas." America is the first ship of its class, replacing the Tarawa-class of amphibious assault ships. As the next generation "big-deck" amphibious assault ship, America is optimized for aviation, capable of supporting current and future aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter. The ship is scheduled to be ceremoniously commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Lewis Hunsaker/Released)
